No it doesn't.  Read on :)

The above test will add libcompat if it exists on any system.  Try it.
Create a dummy library (libcompat) on your Linux box and place it in your
library search path.  Remove config.cache and rerun configure.  It'll hook
in that library for better or worse.

It sounds like this should be changed.

AC_CHECK_LIB(ossaudio, main, [LIBOSSAUDIO="-lossaudio"]) dnl for NetBSD
AC_SUBST(LIBOSSAUDIO)

is all that needs to be added.  That said I'd be willing to bet there's a
non OSS (read: more native, doesn't need external libs) sound driver that
should be supported.
